THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads

How now

brown cow

I want to live

in the NOW.

Yes

I'll live for the moment

that's what I'll do

and blind myself

to all the rest

like Mister Magoo.

Hey, that was a good one...

it just went by so fast

it eluded my grasp.

WHOOSH--there's another!

and another

and another

and another

Now I'm spinning round

snatching wildly at nothing.

HEY-- c'mere ya li'l sumbitches!

How can I know

what living in the moment is like

when the moment is passing me by

in the blink of an eye?

That's an enigma

wrapped in a riddle

topped with a sigh.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

all vying for space inside my brain

it's driving me insane

and that is truly a pain

in

the

ASS.

Don't mean to be crass...

but it's making me crazy

think I'll just have to pass

and not think about it anymore.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

I just won't THINK

about it anymore.

I'll just stay quiet

and close my eyes

and get into the lotus position...

Damn!

Gonna have to master

that lotus position

one day...

Well

no time

like the PRESENT...

heh heh

OHM...OHM...

IN PRAISE OF SUNSHINE

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads

The day
dawns grey
like all the older women
you see at the market
who have cut their hair
so short and ugly
for the sake of convenience
having tossed in the towel
on the notion of ever attracting a man again

it doesn't need to be
that cut and dried
someone told you
this is how you have to act
to act your age
sold you a bill of goods
and you bought it 
without looking at the price
all prim and proper
and by the book
so many people 
here
there
and everywhere
just trying to do the right thing
and fit into someone else's plan
for a world 
that's as bland
as an old grey day
but hey
it's no coincidence that back in the day
when people freed their minds
their hair got longer...

LET THE SUNSHINE IN!!!
